Well I'm in the same position as the rest of you computer wise the only thing I
can say I spent way to much on (I paid for it by not eating for a few days). Was
my 21" Sony F500R monitor best investment I ever made other than that My house is
lettered with low powered Sparcs Pentium 1's and a lowly P2. I fine their quite
nice Maybe I'll post a pic or 2 of my setup sometime soon...
